How do you attract and observe over 150 species of bird including rarities like Hooded Oriole, Bell’s Vireo, and Connecticut Warbler in a yard that is less than a quarter of an acre? Join us for an opportunity to tour the infamous yard, hear how it all began, get some inspiration, and see some birds along the way. Homeowner, Dr. Richard Hall, and Habitat Program Manager, Gabe Andrle will lead a discussion about what makes this Birds Georgia Certified yard special and how you can work on building your yard list while the group observes the regular yard birds and hopes for some spring migrant action.
Note: Nearby State Botanical Garden Native Plant Sale is from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM - get a head start on your backyard sanctuary.
